 The network is far more impactful when we all collaborate and work together. +235 Lloyd’s Agents promoting the Lloyd’s Agency Network, to both a local and an international client base, will ensure that clients from all over the world identify the Lloyd’s Agency Network as the world’s leading marine service network, recognised for its knowledge, expertise and professionalism, without equal.

 We therefore encourage Lloyd’s Agents to pro-actively promote their company, and the network, both locally and, where possible, internationally. This can include arrangingone-on-one client meetings as well as attending (and/or sponsoring) maritime conferences.

 The Lloyd’s Agency Network management team is very happy to assist and, where possible, will share contact details of any insurance market that you intend visiting.

 We also encourage Lloyd’s Agents to support and appoint other Lloyd’s Agents in the network, when they receive an instruction that requires support/assistance outside of their appointment territory. This Lloyd’s Agent to Lloyd’s Agent collaboration generates additional revenue opportunities and demonstrates to the network’s client base, a collegiate and joined-up approach.

 Finally, the very bestway to promote the Lloyd’s Agency Network is to perform to your very best ability on each and every new instruction that you receive. A happy client undoubtedly strengthens the reputation of your company and the reputation of the network.
